We propose a new strategy for the determination of the QCD coupling. It relies on a coupling computed in QCD with $N_{\rm f} \geq 3$ degenerate heavy quarks at a low energy scale $\mu_{\rm dec}$, together with a non-perturbative…
We study the connection between asymptotic symmetries in non-Abelian gauge theories and the generalised coherent states following from the application to QCD of the Faddeev-Kulish approach to asymptotic dynamics. We compute the large gauge…
In this paper, the main properties of (3+1)-dimensional $U(1)$ gauged Q-balls are examined. In particular, it is shown that the relation $\frac{dE}{dQ}=\omega$ holds for such gauged Q-balls in the general case. As a consequence, it is shown…
In this first paper we begin the application of variational methods to renormalisable asymptotically free field theories, using the Gross-Neveu model as a laboratory. This variational method has been shown to lead to a numerically…
Basic elements of the exact renormalization group method and recent results within this approach are reviewed. Topics covered are the derivation of equations for the effective action and relations between them, derivative expansion,…
I give an introductory review of recent, fascinating developments in supersymmetric gauge theories. I explain pedagogically the miraculous properties of supersymmetric gauge dynamics allowing one to obtain exact solutions in many instances.…
The main focus of these lectures is on those aspects of deep inelastic scattering that can be derived directly from QCD using quantum field theory, without recourse to phenomenological models. The emphasis is on spin dependent scattering,…
We perform an integral reduction for the 3-loop effective gauge coupling and screening mass of QCD at high temperatures, defined as matching coefficients appearing in the dimensionally reduced effective field theory (EQCD). Expressing both…

We compute the two-loop QCD helicity amplitudes for the process e^+e^- --> q bar{q} g. The amplitudes are extracted in a scheme-independent manner from the coefficients appearing in the general tensorial structure for this process. The…
Using a system of the corresponding Schwinger-Dyson equations of motion, a pure dynamical theory of quark confinement and spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry is formulated. It is based on dominated in the QCD vacuum self-interaction of…
Subject of our investigations is QCD formulated in terms of physical degrees of freedom. Starting from the Faddeev-Popov procedure, the canonical formulation of QCD is derived for static gauges. Particular emphasis is put on obstructions…
We show that the resummation of large radiative corrections in QCD processes can be performed both in covariant gauge and in axial gauge. We extend the resummation technique to inclusive processes, concentrating on deeply inelastic…
QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
The application of renormalization group techniques to bound states in non-relativistic QED and QCD is discussed. For QED bound states like Hydrogen and positronium, the renormalization group allows large logarithms of the velocity, ln v…
A general introduction to lattice QCD suitable for graduate students in experimental and theoretical particle physics. Aimed at those who want to know how lattice calculations are done, and what the pitfalls are, without having to do the…
We try to review the main current ideas and points of view on the running coupling constant in QCD. We begin by recalling briefly the classic analysis based on the Renormalization Group with some emphasis on the exact solutions of the RG…
The QED renormalization is restudied by using a mass-dependent subtraction which is performed at a time-like renormalization point. The subtraction exactly respects necessary physical and mathematical requirements such as the gauge…
In this review, we provide a short outlook of some of the currently most popular pictures and promising approaches to non-perturbative physics and confinement in gauge theories. A qualitative and by no means exhaustive discussion presented…
In part I and II of this series of papers all elements have been introduced to extend, to two loops, the set of renormalization procedures which are needed in describing the properties of a spontaneously broken gauge theory. In this paper,…
